GARVEE G-AD50PT
Under the DOE test basis, the GARVEE G-AD50PT draws 504 kWh — about $92 at the U.S. average rate, concentrated in the months you actually run it. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 49% of the median certified dehumidifier (rank 369 of 519). The same unit costs $66 a year in Nevada but $266 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
